SQL on Linux

Microsoft has made a bold move by making SQL Server multi-platform in the upcoming 2017 release. Customers will now be able to host SQL Server on Windows and Linux natively, on MacOS through Docker, and of course on the cloud with Azure DB.

At this week's SQL User Group we'll be discussing what this means, from a strategic perspective, but also what new options this places in the hands of the SQL DBA.

About the presenter

James McNeill (the guy in the hat) will be presenting and lead us through some demos of SQL on Linux. Prior to his current career with BI and SQL Server, James worked as a Linux systems admin at the ANU in Canberra - back in a time when it was unthinkable that SQL Server and Linux would ever cross paths.
